So, you have to check out 'Als ik zelf de zon ben.' It’s a fascinating documentary with this classical pianist, Djuwa Mroivili, at its center. She's got this vibrant energy, breaking into the conservative spaces of the classical music scene. The film dives deep into her research on the 1883 World Exhibition in Amsterdam, which is a pretty unique angle. You really feel the weight of history and personal struggle throughout. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to savor the quiet moments, almost meditative. That said, there’s an undercurrent of tension, as Djuwa navigates her identity and the legacy of colonialism. The atmosphere is rich with introspection, and the way they intertwine music with history is really distinctive. It’s not your typical doc, that's for sure.
